Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will enroll participants aged 12 years or older with a body weight ≥ 40 kilograms (kg) diagnosed with PNH who have not been previously treated with complement inhibitor therapy. Approximately 50 participants will be treated with Crovalimab for at least 24 weeks.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Crovalimab

Participants will receive a loading series of crovalimab comprised of an intravenous (IV) dose on Day 1, followed by weekly crovalimab subcutaneous (SC) doses for 4 weeks on Week 1 Day 2, then on Weeks 2, 3, and 4. Maintenance SC dosing will begin at Week 5 and will continue Q4W (every 4 weeks) thereafter for a total of 24 weeks of study treatment. After 24 weeks of crovalimab treatment, participants who derive benefit from the drug may continue to receive crovalimab.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Crovalimab

Intervention Type DRUG

Crovalimab will be administered at a dose of 1000 milligrams (mg) IV (for participants with body weight between 40 and 100 kg) or 1500 mg IV (for participants with body weight ≥ 100 kg) on Week 1 Day 1. On Week 1 Day 2 and on Weeks 2, 3 and 4, it will be administered at a dose of 340 mg SC. For Week 5 and Q4W thereafter, it will be administered at a dose of 680 mg SC (for participants with body weight between 40 and 100 kg) or 1020 mg SC (for participants with body weight ≥ 100 kg). Dosing schedule will be as described above.
